THE COMING FAIRS.

Says the Ell Dorado Republican: "The
success of the fair in FL Dorado county this
year ought to be particularly desired by
every citizen alive to home interests and
improvements" And it then proceeds to
enlarge upon the duty and benefit of sup
porting these annual expositions The
same lesson should be read to all the peo-
pie of all the counties and agricultural
districts. They should be alive to the
truth that great successes are born only of
union of effort. We shall have thousands
of visitors with US this year spying out the
land in every month of the year, and not
one of the district or county fairs should
fail to be a strong attraction to them, or
fail to compensate them for visit. In no
State in the Union, at so little cost, can a
fair be SO well promoted as here. 1t is
comparatively an easy task to put exam
pies of our products and industries on
view, but it will not be done effectually
and exclusively unless every producer
and dealer feels that he has a personal
duty to discharge in the premises. Premi-
-ums and diplomas and personal triumphs
should be entirely secondary to the one
grand effort to make comprehensive ex-
hibition at every fair. To the achieve
ment of this end, the press of all the State
should labor to awaken the proper public
spirit, and to rouse the people by emphatic
iteration and the advancing of sound reasons,
for full and exhaustive duty-doing toward
the District Fairs and the State Fair.

The following telegram was received to-

a reward for the apprehension of the rob-

The Southern Pacific Company offers a reward

the robbers. which is additional to a like reward
offered by Wells. Fargo & Co. In addition to
this, we understand the United States Postofiiee

The Affair Not Altogether Surprise.
BENSON. April 2Sth-Your reporter has
just been told that the train robbers had
been spotted, and that it will only be a
| question of time before they would be cap
| tured. The officers do not wish to make
| immediate arrests, for fear sufficient evil
dence could not be procured to convict.
| 1t is now reported that a special officer
has been in Ell Paso for several days
watching for this occurrence to take
place in that locality, being fore
warned by outsiders who got an ink
| ling of the fact that an attempt would be
made somewhere on the line of the road,
but the robbers took time by the forelock,
showing unusual sagacity in making the
raid in this vicinity, where hardly any one
expected that such an affair would take
place.
The fact is evident that the robbers are
old railroad employees, from their famil-
iarity with railroad signals The robbery
is the excitement of the hour, compare.
lively beggaring every other subject.

ITS EFFECT ON INTERIOR CITIES.

If a deliberate conspiracy had been en-
tered into to cripple the chief interior
cities of Central California, it could have
taken no more effective form than that of
the interstate commerce law. These cities
being upon great waterways, and related
by navigation directly with tide-water
more SO than St. Louis or Chicago indeed,
the railroad companies recognized them as
competitive points, and gave them the
same rate for transportation import as the
metropolis. For many years they have
enjoyed the privilege. Upon that basis
vast trade has been built up and fixed cap
ital made to underlie growing CONNER
cial system, and the country stimulated to
development. Now it is clear to any In
telligence that the roads might have added
to the through rate enjoyed by these cities
the cost of the haul upon the waterways
from Underwater back to these points. But
this was not done, and commerce has come
to these places level with the advantages
vi Abi NOW the law
comes in and proposes to vacate the privi-
iege, not by revoking the competitive or
der in so many words, but by declaring
that the roads must choose between eharg-
ing the sum of the local transportation
tariff, and the granting to non-competitiye
points of the low through or long haul
charges. As from IS to 90 per cent. of the
rewards of operation flow from the local
rates, it is not possible to abandon them.
and, therefore, the roads choose to adhere
to them, ard yield up the through COM
petitiye business. The result would be 10
break up the terminal facilities of the in
terror places and reduce their trade to a
local clientage. What this means it is
wholly unnecessary to detail it is obvious.
And for this condition of affairs the in
terror cities have to thank Democratic
Administration, which has made congress
sional folly, law.

IT rs INTERNAL PROTECTION.

The New York Epening Post says:
When the interstate commerce bill was
pending we pointed out the fact that the
long and short-haul clauses would operate
as an interstate protective tariff The Ohio
wool growers have not been slow to per-
eeive its value in this sense. They are said
to be preparing protest against granting
the petition Of the California weol-grow-
ers, who have asked that the clause in
question be suspended as to their product,
representing that its enforcement would be
absolutely ruinous to their industry The
Ohio wool-growers are alive to this fact
also, and they are accordingly strenuous in
insisting that the law he strictly enforced.
The producers of raisins in California have
discovered that the Commerce Act serves
to nullify the tariff on foreign raisins by
increasing the freight charge to Eastern
markets TO a point equal to the customs
duty. The salmon canneries of
the Columbia river will be heard from
soon, and it will be in order then for the
fishermen on the Atlantic coast to stand up
for strict construction of the law. The
possibilities of the Commerce Act as an in
terstate protective tariff are only begin
ming to be understood"
That the law does establish a system of
protection between citizens of States, has
been demonstrated That such system is
opposed to the substructural principles of
the republic is clear. That this new doc
trine of antagonizing the productive and
industrial interests of the State is revolu-
tionary and dangerous, is undeniable.
That it is saddled upon the country by
Democratic Administration which pro-
fesses to believe in free trade, is history
Protection of "a, " in America, in his in
dustry, as against the products of the in
dustry Of "B" in a foreign land, is one thing,
but the protection of "A" in Ohio at the
expense of "B =" in California, both being
citizens of common country, with the
right to trade freely between the States, is
very different thing 1t means divorce
ment of sympathy, commercial estrange-
ment, and possible political dismember-
ment. All such experiments are, we re-
peat, dangerous. They are un-American,
illiberal, intolerant and smack of the old
States rights exclusiveness, that once put
the Union in such mortal peril. As we had
the Democratic party to charge for that,
so we have the Democratic party to debit
for this i'll.
As was the mastery inertia of Demo
cratic President that plunged the country
into q civil war then, so now it is the weak
yielding, and weaker approval, of a Demo-
cratic President that threatens to sap the
foundations of commercial unity. As it
was a Republican Administration that
saved the Union then, so now the Repub-
lican party, the equal of all emergencies,
must save the commerce of the land to-day

do not act by authority of the miners.
But if they do, all the worse for the

IT was eminently fitting that the birth
day of General Grant should be observed.
as 1t was at the East on Wednesday, by the
formation of several associations to annu-
ally celebrate the recurrence of the day.
Such observance will contribute to the vi
tally of the patriotic sentiment, and give
denial to the adage that nations are I'M
grateful. As Mr.. Conkling said at New
York of General Grant: % No resolutions
are needed to tell the men of this country
of the day of birth and OF death of that
great hero. The lives and services, not
only of the dead Grant, but of the living
men who fought with him, shall never fall
into oblivion. As long as gratitude and
appreciation dwell in the hearts of the
people, so long will their memories keep
green" That there may be due ceremonial
and uniformity and symmetry of action in
marking the passage of the day, organiza-
ton is desirable The same associations
may serve other historical purposes, and
prove of high service to the land, by call
ing men away from the hot contention.
